Teen Sorcerer

Chapter 21

Scott walked into the vet clinic but didn't see anyone at the counter, even though the bell had rung and the front door was unlocked. The rowan counter was closed so he had to wait for Stiles as the guy walked in behind him. "Scott?" he heard the vet's voice coming from the back as Deaton walked out to see them. "Stiles. What can I do for you two boys?" he asks with his usual expression that always seemed to hover somewhere between general suspicion of what the two of them were up to and resignation at their antics.

"Hey doc, we wanted to ask if you had a sister. Maybe working at the school?" Stiles says bluntly and Scott gives his best friend a look of exasperation.

Deaton, if he is surprised by the question doesn't show it, however he does give them a raised eyebrow which Stiles is going to count as a point. "Though we don't often share that fact, yes I do" Deaton answers. "Why?"

Just then the door opens and Derek, Lydia, and Marin Morrell all walk in the clinic. Deaton looks up and nods at the woman. "Marin" he acknowledges cautiously. He turns back to the others with a curious look.

"The Darach took my mom, another nurse, and two doctors last night" Scott says and Stiles, watching the vet, sees the honest surprise and concern on his face.

"What? Do you have any leads?" he asks before he pauses and looks at his sister "and why are you here?"

"You mean after we found out your sister is working with the Alpha Pack?" Stiles says looking at the woman with suspicion. Alan is surprised by the angry emotion in the teen's voice. He also notices that Derek's claws are out and are dangerously close to his sister.

"Yes. After that" Alan answers and Stiles just nods at the confirmation that the vet not only knew what his sister was doing, but that he purposefully didn't tell them.

"We are giving her a chance. She said she can help us with a problem and if she does Derek won't rip her throat out" Stiles says causing the vet to look at him with a disturbed expression. "If not, she dies" he tells the man.

"Stiles" Alan looks very unhappy "things are often more complicated than they often appear. And I would appreciate it if you would refrain from threatening my sister" he tells them.

Stiles looks at the vet and shakes his head in disappointment. "I'm sorry doc, but you knew that someone from the Alpha Pack was at our school watching us, giving them information about us, and using that information to target us and our families and you didn't bother to warn us or anything. Ms. Morrell has made her choices, whatever the reasons, so she will have to live with the consequences." Alan watches as the others silently support the suddenly furious teen "The Alpha Pack came to my house to kill my father and whether or not she was directly involved, she has been helping them which in my mind makes her just as guilty" Stiles adds looking particularly angry with the woman and the vet. "The two of you have been playing a game with the rest of us and it is going to end now one way or the other."

"Stiles" Scott's voice is not quite a whine but Stiles knows his brother and he knows how unhappy he is right now.

"If Ms. McCall or anyone of our pack or family is hurt by the Alphas that she is supporting, she won't leave Beacon Hills alive" he promises with a voice of steel that causes both druids to look at him in shock. Stiles' tattoos on his arm appear and start glowing as he gestures and Alan flies backward to slam into the wall.
